Lyrics Boy Who Cried Wolf - The Style Council

Boy Who Cried Wolf

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
I lie awake at nights and — think about me All those usual things like what a fool I’ve been
I curse the awful way — that I let you slip away
For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
I thought I need only call and you would run
But that day you never showed honey — well I sure learnt —
That it seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way —
Now it’s far too late — an' I’ve lost this time —
Like the Boy who cried Wolf
An' yes — I know it’s far too late
To ever win you back —
No tale of nightmare’s at my gate —
Could make you turn —
My lost concern
And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul
I sit alone and wonder — where did I go wrong?
It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door
But one day you never showed and honey — Now I’m not so sure —
That is seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way —
Now it’s far too late — an' I’ve lost this time —
Like the Boy who cried Wolf
